Improving vertical GPS precision with a GPS-over-fiber architecture and real-time relative delay calibration

A limitation of GPS positioning is that the vertical component is generally two to three times less precise than the horizontal components. In a previous work by R. Santerre of Laval University and G. Beutler of University of Bern, it was shown in simulations that it is possible to improve the GPS vertical positioning precision by using a multi-antenna GPS receiver and a precise calibration technique of the relative hardware delay between the antennas and the receiver. However, no actual implementation of the system was done to prove the concept until now. A new multi-antenna, GPS-over-fiber architecture with real-time delay monitoring, designed and implemented to improve the vertical precision is presented. The improvement in vertical precision arises from the elimination of the relative receiver clock error in single difference, between antennas, and the precision real-time calibration of the relative hardware delay. Experiments were conducted with a zero baseline and a short baseline configuration. The results show, as expected by the theory and the simulations, a two to three times improvement in the precision of the vertical component such that it reached the same level of performance as the horizontal components. These promising results will enable the use of this type of configuration in several applications where the same precision in all 3D components is essential and could not be achieved before with standard GPS positioning techniques.     

Alkaline rocks and carbonatites of Amba Dongar and adjacent areas,Deccan Alkaline Province,Gujarat, India. 2. Complexly zoned clinopyroxene phenocrysts

Summary Clinopyroxene phenocrysts in six samples, representing the compositional range in the alkaline rocks of the region, range overall from aluminian titanian diopside (mg = Mg/[Mg + Fe _t ] = 92) to aegirine (mg = 17), but Ca-pyroxenes are dominant (90% of 851 analyses), Ca-Na pyroxenes minor ( 10%) and Na-pyroxenes rare ( 1%). Pyroxenes in associated subalkaline rocks (dolerites and basalts) are lower-Ca augites of distinct trend. Al and Ti correlate positively in the alkaline rock pyroxenes, but negatively with Si, mirroring decreasing CaTiAl₂O₆ and CaSiAl₂O₆ components in more felsic host-rocks. Although the most evolved pyroxenes in each host-rock show increasingna (Na/[Na + Ca]) and Zr and decreasingmg as host-rock mg decreases, the most primitive pyroxenes in each host-rock do not change, implying they are not at equilibrium. Over 40 paired logitudinal and lateral traverses across 21 phenocrysts reveal very complex zoning, in which up to five growth zones can be recognized in one crystal, separated by either sharp contacts or gradual transitions. These individual zones may show one of seven zoning trends:normal (na asmg moving outwards towards the rim),reverse (na asmg ),inverse (na asmg ),converse (na asmg ),unzoned (no change),symmetric (na andmg display complementary and trends), oroscillatory (superimposed on normal, reverse or unzoned). Ten distinct crystal types can also be recognized, showing particular sequences of zoning trends: for example, Type 1 shows a green, relatively sodic core surrounded by a more primitive rim or overgrowth, and has similar longitudinal and lateral zoning; whereas Type 6 shows extremely erratic variations which differ longitudinally and laterally. Up to four of these types were found in one host-rock, with little pattern in their distribution between different host-rocks. These pyroxenes are believed to record an intricate history of stop-start differentiation, complicated by magma-mixing, entry or disappearance of coprecipitating phases, and inheritance of high-pressure precipitates. Apparently random superimposed variations of Al, Ti and Si within some individual growth zones most probably reflect kinetic (disequilibrium) effects, due to rapid growth and/or supercooling.

Alkaligesteine und Karbonatite von Amba Dongar und Umgebung Deccan Alkali-Provinz, Gujarat, Indien. 2. Komplex zonierte Klinopyroxenkristalle

Zusammenfassung Klinopyroxenkristalle in sechs Proben, die das ganze Spektrum der Zusammensetzung der Alkaligesteine des Gebietes repräsentieren, schwanken von Aluminium-Titandiopsid (mg = Mg/[Mg + Fe _t ] = 92) bis Aegirin (mg = 17), aber C-Pyroxene dominieren (90% von 851 Analysen). Ca-Na-Pyroxene sind Nebengemengteile (10%) und Na-Pyroxene sind selten ( 1%). Pyroxene in assoziierten subalkalischen Gesteinen (Dolerite und Basalte) sind Ca-arme Augite eines eigenständigen Trendes. Al und Ti korrelieren positiv in den Pyroxenen der Alkaligesteine, aber negativ mit Si, und dies spiegelt abnehmende CaTiAl₂O₆ und CaSiAl₂O₆ Komponenten in den mehr felsischen Wirtsgesteinen wider. Obwohl Pyroxene in jedem Wirtsgestein zunehmende na-Werte (Na/[Na + Ca]) und Zr-Gehalte und mit demmg des Wirtsgesteines auch abnehmendemg-Werte zeigen, lassen die primitivsten Pyroxene in jedem Wirtsgestein keine Änderung erkennen. Dies weist darauf hin, daß sie nicht im Gleichgewicht sind. Über vierzig paarweise angelegte Längs- und Quertraversen über 21 Kristalle zeigen sehr komplexen Zonarbau, in dem bis zu fünf Wachstumszonen in einem Kristall erkannt werden können, die entweder von scharfen Kontakten oder von graduellen Übergangszonen getrennt werden. Diese individuellen Zonen können einen der folgenden sieben Trends erkennen lassen: Normal (na ;mg ; von innen gegen den Rand zu), reverse (na ,mg ), invers (na undmg ), konvers (na ,mg ), unzoniert (keine Änderung), symmetrisch (na undmg zeigen komplementäre und Trends), oder oszillierend (überlagert den normalen, reversen oder unzonierten Trend). Weiters können zehn definierte Kristalltypen erkannt werden, die besondere Abfolgen von Trends der Zonierung erkennen lassen. Zum Beispiel zeigt Typ 1 einen grünen, relativ Na-reichen Kern, umgeben von einem mehr primitiven Rand oder Überwachsungen, wobei die Zonierung in Längs- und Querrichtung ähnlich ist. Demgegenüber zeigt Typ 6 außerordentlich unregelmäßige Zonierungen, die in Längs- und Querschnitten verschieden sind. Bis zu vier dieser Typen wurden in einem Wirtsgestein nachgewiesen, und sie ließen keine deutlichen Verteilungsmuster zwischen verschiedenen Wirtsgesteinen erkennen. Es wird angenommen, daß diese Pyroxene eine komplexe geschichte von stop-start Differentiation wiedergeben, die durch Magmamischung, durch die Zufuhr oder das Verschwinden von gleichzeitig ausfallenden Phasen und durch die Übernahme von Hochdruck-Bildungen weiter kompliziert wird. Unregelmäßig überlagerte Variationen von Al, Ti und Si innerhalb einzelner Wachstumszonen reflektieren sehr wahrscheinlich kinetische (Ungleichgewicht) Effekte, die auf sehr rasches Wachstum und/oder Überkühlung zurückgehen.

The International Mineralogical Association (IMA/CNMMN) pyroxene nomenclature scheme: Computerization and its consequences

Summary A FORTRAN-77 program is documented, PXTAB, which automates the 1988 IMA/ CNMMN pyroxene nomenclature. PXTAB calculates formula units to 4 cations/6 oxygens by reallocation of Fe^2+/3+ (pIus MD^2+/3+ and Ti³⁺¹⁴⁺ if necessary), checks for certain analytical errors, names pyroxenes, and tabulates results in batches. K₂O, P₂O₅ and CO. can be calculated out as K-feldspar/biotite, apatite and calcite impurities respectively. PXTAB attempts to computerize the IMA report as it stands, but some rules given in the report are incomplete, inexact and often ambiguous, so that certain assumptions have to be made in programming. The lack of defined compositional boundaries for certain rare (e.g., Mn-rich and Zr-rich) pyroxenes is one problematical omission. The report also inexplicably names pyroxenes which lie outside its own stated compositional limits. Further problems related to adjectival modifiers may particularly concern petrologists: (a) many modifiers remain formally undefined, so that there is no way of consistently distinguishing, say, subcalcic augite from augite; (b) other modifiers are applied inconsistently in the report; (c) there is imbalance among modifiers: for example, aluminian applies to many more pyroxenes than titanian, even though the defined limits (>0,1 PFU) are the same. Overall, the IMA pyroxene nomenclature is at variance with its 1978 amphibole nomenclature in both principle and practice, posing problems for nomenclatural consistency.

Die Pyroxen-Nomenklatur der International Mineralogical Association (IMA/CNMMN): Ein computerprogramm und seine konsequenzen

Zusammenfassung PXTAB berechnet Mineralformeln auf der Basis von 4 Kationen bzw. 6 Sauerstoffen unter Neuverteilung von Fe^2+/3+ (wenn nötig auch von Mn^2+/3+ und Ti^3+/4+) kon trolliert mögliche durch die Analytik bedingte Fehler, benennt die Pyroxene und gibt die Resultate in Stapelform aus.K₂O, P₂O₅ und CO₂ können rechnerisch als Kalifeldspat/Biotit-, Apatit- und Calcitver unreinigungen angegeben werden.Es wurde zwar versucht, PXTAB so zu programmieren, daß es mit den IMA Nomenklatur-Richtlinien in Einklang steht, aber einige der angegebene Regeln sind unvollständig, ungenau und oftmals mehrdeutig. Daher mußten für das Programm bestimmte Annahmen gemacht werden. Zum Beispiel fehlen Abgrenzungen der Zusammensetzung seltner, etwa Mn- und Zr-reicher, Pyroxene.Der Bericht benennt außerdem, unerklärlicherweise, Pyroxene, die nicht den definierten Zusammensetzungen entsprechen. Weitere Probleme, in Zusammenhang mit den adjektivischen Ergänzungen, betreffen insbesondere Petrologen: (a) viele ergänzende Adjektiva werden formal nicht definiert, sodaß es keine Möglichkeit gibt, sagen wir z.B. subcaleic augite von augite zu unterscheiden; (b) andere Adjektiva werden inkonsequent verwendet; (c) es besteht eine Unausgewogenheit zwischen den Ergänzungen. so wird z.B. aluminian für weit mehr Pyroxene verwendent, als titanian, obwohl die definierten Grenzen (> d.1 PFU) dieselben sind.Die IMA Pyroxennomenklatur ist daher, zusammenfassend festgestellt, in vielerlei Hinsicht von der 1978 eingeführten Amphibolnomenklatur verschieden. Für die nomenklatorische Richtigkeit ergeben sich daher sowohl prinzipielle, wie auch praktische Probleme.

Late Caledonian dyke-swarms in Southern Scotland: New field,petrological and geochemical data for the Wigtown Peninsula,Galloway

Several hundred, dominantly NE-trending dykes invade Silurian flysch sediments of the Wigtown Peninsula. The most basic dykes are K-rich biotite-lamprophyres, hornblende-lamprophyres and appinites ('diorites' of previous maps). More acidic (qz and cm normative) dykes include restricted andesitic compositions ('porphyritcs', c. 57 per cent SiO₂) and a continuum from dacitic to rhyolitic compositions ('acid porphyrites' and 'porphyries', c. 63–71 per cent SiO₂). The relative abundance of basic to intermediate + acidic dykes, based on examination of 180 thin sections and 70 new whole-rock analyses, is approximately 7:1. The biotite- and hornblende-lamprophyres are distinct in chemistry and distribution, biotite-lamprophyres being confined to the south of the Peninsula. Neither type has any compositional equivalent among the plutonic rocks of the area. Porphyrite and porphyry dykes do not represent simple lamprophyre fractionates, but may be derived from at least two (intermediate and acidic) parent magmas, which may represent crustally-contaminated lamprophyre or entirely separate crustal melts. Emplacement of all dyke compositions was apparently episodic through Wenlock to early Devonian times (c. 425-395 Ma). Early dykes post-date the main deformation (D₁) but predate minor (D₂) folding, both D₁ and D₂ being related to thrusting. On the current accretionary model for the Southern Uplands, this implies that dyke emplacement commenced before the end of accretion in a compressional tectonic regime—scarcely consistent with the moderate (up to 6 per cent) crustal extension represented by the dykes. The geochemistry of the lamprophyres requires a deep mantle origin several hundred kilometres behind any subduction zone. This suggests that the 'lapetus suture', at the time of dyke emplacement, was much farther south than its currently inferred position and places the Southern Uplands in a back-arc situation.     

The nature and origin of lamprophyres: some definitions,distinctions, and derivations

Lamprophyres are porphyritic dyke-rocks, readily recognisable in the field, which seemed to have become enveloped in petrological mystery because of their scattered and often contradictory literature. Important characteristics common to all members of this extremely heterogeneous group are suggested to include their intrusion at a late stage in any igneous event, the presence of essential amphibole or biotite coupled with peculiar chemistry, and their lack of felsic phenocrysts. Panidiomorphic texture is usual, though by no means exclusive to lamprophyres.At least four lamprophyre subgroups may be recognised; these are quite distinct in petrology, chemistry, paragenesis and petrogenesis although individual members of each subgroup are closely similar. Thealkaline lamprophyre subgroup is considered in detail: new definitions ofcamptonite andmonchiquite are proposed which are believed to reconcile majority usage whilst accomodating existing analytical data; the termouachitite is reassessed andfourchite suggested to be superfluous;sannaite, an alkali feldspar-rich alkaline lamprophyre, may be more abundant than its frequency within the literature implies — some “minettes” and “vogesites” are more correctly termed sannaite, particularly those occurring in carbonatite complexes.Camptonites most probably represent alkali basalt magmas which became unusually hydrous through influence of an alkaline pluton, and then evolved at relatively low pressures. Varied evidence is considered to suggest that the nearly isotropic base in monchiquites typically consists of altered glass rather than analcime; where analcime is present it probably formed along with zeolites by secondary processes. “Monchiquitic” is not an appropriate synonym for “analcime-bearing”, as in some literature. Field, chemical and statistical evidence is taken to suggest that many monchiquites are either chilled heteromorphs of camptonites or camptonitic magmas which crystallised under high CO₂ activities. Liquid immiscibility seems to be more extensively developed in camptonites and monchiquites than in any other igneous rocks, and is probably governed by their hydrous state.The genetic connotations of lamprophyre names, asserted early in their history but later questioned, are here modified but reaffirmed: broadly minettes and related lamprophyres connote post-orogenic granites or mildly potassic (shoshonitic) alkaline rocks, alkaline lamprophyres connote alkali basalts or sodic alkaline rocks, and alnoites connote carbonatites.     

Alkaline rocks and carbonatites of Amba Dongar and adjacent areas,Deccan Igneous Province,Gujarat, India: 1. Geology,petrography and petrochemistry

Summary Rift-related, late Eocene ( 60 Ma) alkaline-carbonatitec intrusions cover 1200 km2 south of the town of Chhota Udaipur, and form a subprovince within the alkaline magmatism that accompanies the tholeiitic Deccan Traps. They were emplaced temporally between late Deccan Trap flows and late dykes of basalt and picritic basalt. The subprovince comprises five main geographic occurrences (sectors): (1)Amba Dongar: a ring-complex of Ca-Mg-Fe-carbonatites, nephelinites to tephriphonolites, and fluorite deposits; (2)Siriwasan-Dugdha: an intrusive complex of Ca—carbonatites, nephelinites and trachytic rocks; (3)Phenai Mata: a nepheline syenite plug and dykes, plus dykes of tephrites to phonolites and lamprophyres (intimately associated with a layered tholeiitic gabbro—granophyre intrusion); (4)Panwad-Kawant: dykes and plugs of lamprophyres and tephrites to phonolites; (5)Bakhatgarh-Phulmahal: late basic-ultrabasic dykes only. The alkaline rocks range from ultrasodic to ultrapotassic, but are mostly nonperalkaline. Silica-undersaturated examples show higher incompatible and LIL element contents (Rb, K, Nb, Zr, Sr, Ba, LREE, etc.) than the associated tholeiites. However, the late basic-ultrabasic dykes display an continuum of alkaline-tholeiitic compositions. Possible parent magmas are represented among the primitive undersaturated basic dykes (including lamprophyres). The trachytic rocks are subalkaline, and may be genetically related to a tholeiitic rather than alkaline parent magma.

Alkaligesteine und Karbonatite von Amba Dongar und Umgebung, Dekkan-Provinz, Gujarat, Indien: 1. Geologie, Petrographie und Gesteinschemie

Zusammenfassung Alkalisch-karbonatitische Intrusionen aus dem Obereozän (60 Ma) erstrecken sich über 1200 km² südlich der indischen Stadt Chhota Udaipur und bilden einen Teil des alkalischen Komplexes, der die tholeiitischen Deccan Traps begleitet. Die Gesteine wurden während eines Rifting Prozesses intrudiert und lagern stratigraphisch zwischen Deccan Trap Tholeiiten und basaltischen bzw. pikritischen Ganggesteinen. Das Gebiet läßt sich in fünf geographische Regionen unterteilen: (1) Amba Dongar: ein ringförmiger Komplex aus Ca-Mg-Fe-reichen Karbonatiten, Nepheliniten und Tephriphonoliten mit Fluorit-Lagerstätten; (2) Siriwasan-Dugdha: eine Ca-reiche Karbonatit-Intrusion mit Nepheliniten und Trachyten; (3) Phenai Mata: Eine Nephelin-syenitische Intrusion und begleitende Ganggesteine aus Tephriten, Phonoliten und Lamprophyren, die mit einer magmatisch geschichteten tholeiitischen Gabbro Intrusion vergesellschaftet sind; (4) Panwad-Kawant: Lamprophyrische Ganggesteine neben Tephriten und Phonoliten; (5) Bakhatgarh-Phulmahal: späte basisch bis ultrabasische Ganggesteine. Die alkalischen Gesteine besitzen eine ultrapotassische bis extrem Na-reiche Zusammensetzung, nur vereinzelte Proben weisen jedoch peralkalischen Charakter auf. Silizium-untersättigte (alkalische) Proben besitzen in der Regel höhere Konzentrationen an Mantel-inkompatiblen Elementen (z.B. LREE, Nb und Zr) und LILE (z.B. Rb, Sr und Ba) als die benachbarten Tholeiite. Die späten basisch bis ultrabasischen Ganggesteine stellen ein Kontinuum von alkalischer bis tholeiitischer Geochemie dar. Die primitiven Silizium-untersättigten Ganggesteine (und Lamprophyre) repräsentieren vermutlich die Ausgangssehmelzen; die subalkalischen Trachyte dürften in genetischem Zusammenhang mit den Tholeiiten stehen.

EPC: Matlab software to estimate Euler pole parameters

The estimation of Euler pole parameters has always been an important issue in global tectonics and geodynamics studies. In addition, the increasing number of permanent GPS stations and the ease of access to their data, along with advances in computers, promise new methods and tools for the estimation and the quantitative analysis of Euler pole parameters. Therefore, we developed the Euler pole calculator software using a set of mathematical algorithms based on the model of tectonic plate motion on a spherical surface. The software is able to calculate the expected velocities for any points located on the earth’s surface given the relevant Euler pole parameters and to estimate the Euler pole parameters given the observed velocities of a set of sites located on the same tectonic plate. Mathematical algorithms and functions of the software are explained in detail.
